At least 25 people were killed by Israeli airstrikes and gunshots overnight, according to unnamed health officials and Gaza’s ambulance service.
The majority of victims were killed by gunfire as they waited for aid trucks close to the Zikim crossing with Israel, say staff at Shifa Hospital, where the bodies were brought.
Israel’s army didn’t respond to a request for comments about the latest shootings.
Those killed in strikes include four people in an apartment building in Gaza City, among others, hospital staff, and the ambulance service say.
The figures cannot be independently verified and do not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
